The nightly builds were down for a while, but Boisy got them working
very nicely a few months back, Robert Gault managed to get all the
Sierra targets building perfectly for DW, and I babysit the process
(as in, I read the log every few days when I remember :)  We also made
the "latest disks" page with each disk image listed and categorized by
package and disk type.  Hopefully it's easier than ever to get the
latest version of any specific disk image as needed, and you can boot
right off the /latest page images with DW or CocoNet.  It is working
great at the moment, and with any luck should be reliable in the
future.
